When is the next Apple event or product reveal?

There could be an iPad event or launch in October

The next Apple product launch either via an event or simple press release, could be new iPads in October.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in one of his Power On newsletters, Apple could finally update the iPad mini, bringing in the iPad mini 7 as we've decided to call it. Given the smallest iPad hasn't been updated since 2021, it's arguably overdue a refresh.

Since then, Gurman has made the same claim again, saying that the iPad mini 7 will be announced in late October and ship on November 1. He added that new MacBook Pro models along with a new Mac mini and iMac will be unveiled at the same event.
